Ziel des Projektes ist es, die Zusammenarbeit von Wissenschaft und Politik innerhalb der Enquete-Kommission 'Zukünftige Kernenergie-Politik' zu untersuchen, die ihren ersten Bericht 1980 vorlegte. In diesen wissenschaftlichen Beratungsprozess waren neben industrienahen Wissenschaftlern auch Alternative integriert - wie beispielsweise ein Sachverständiger des Öko-Instituts, das von Mitgliedern der Umweltbewegung gegründet wurde. Damit gewannen alternative Wissenschaftler zunehmend Gewicht in der Diskussion um zukunftsfähige Energiepolitik, die bis dahin vor allem von den - der Industrie nahe stehenden - Forschungseinrichtungen wie Jülich und Karlsruhe bestimmt wurde. Vor dem Hintergrund der innenpolitisch prägenden Konfliktphase um die Atomenergie soll die Funktionsfähigkeit der wissenschaftlichen Politikberatung untersucht werden. Dies beinhaltet neben der Untersuchung von Kommunikationsprozessen auch die Frage nach den Argumentationsstrategien.
The Commission proposal of Groundwater Directive COM(2003)550 developed under Article 17 of the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) sets out criteria for the assessment of the chemical status of groundwater, which is based on existing Community quality standards (nitrates, pesticides and biocides) and on the requirement for Member States to identify pollutants and threshold values that are representative of groundwater bodies found as being at risk, in accordance with the analysis of pressures and impacts carried out under the WFD. In the light of the above, the objectives of BRIDGE are: i) to study and gather scientific outputs which could be used to set out criteria for the assessment of the chemical status of groundwater, ii) to derive a plausible general approach, how to structure relevant criteria appropriately with the aim to set representative groundwater threshold values scientifically sound and defined at national river basin district or groundwater body level, iii) to check the applicability and validity by means of case studies at European scale, iv) to undertake additional research studies to complete the available data, v) and to carry out an environmental impact assessment taking into account the economic and social impacts. The project shall be carried out at European level, involving a range of stakeholders and efficiently linking the scientific and policy-making communities. Considering the requirement of the diary of the Groundwater Daughter Directive proposal, which implies that groundwater pollutants and related threshold values should be identified before December 2005 and listed by June 2006, the duration of the project should be 24 months. In that way the proposed research will contribute to provide research elements that will be indispensable for preparing discussions on further steps of the future Groundwater Directive.

Zur Verbesserung der Lärmsituation in Europa hat die EU im Jahr 2002 die Umgebungslärmrichtlinie (2002/49/EG) erlassen, wobei die Belastung durch einheitliche Bewertungsmethoden erfasst werden soll. Diese unter dem Akronym CNOSSOS-EU (Common Noise Assessment Methods in Europe) entwickelten Berechnungsmethoden (Richtlinie (EU) 2015/996) sind der Qualitätssicherung von Lärmberechnungen (DIN 45687) zu unterziehen. In dieser Dokumentation werden die Methoden zur Ermittlung der Schall-Emissionen, der Berechnung der Schall-Ausbreitung sowie der Belastetenermittlung auf beispielhafte Aufgabenstellungen angewendet, so dass eine einheitliche Anwendung der Methoden deutschlandweit gewährleistet ist.
The objectives of the ProMine IP address the Commission s concerns over the annual 11 billion trade deficit in metal and mineral imports. Europe has to enhance the efficiency of its overall production chain putting higher quality and added value products on the market. ProMine focuses on two parts of this chain, targeting extractive and end-user industries. Upstream, the first ever Pan-EU GIS based mineral resource and advanced modeling system for the extractive industry will be created, showing known and predicted, metallic and non-metallic mineral occurrences across the EU. Detailed 4D computer models will be produced for four metalliferous regions. Upstream work will also include demonstrating the reliability of new (Bio) technologies for an eco-efficient production of strategic metals, driven by the creation of on-site added value and the identification of specific needs of potential end-users. Downstream, a new strategy will be developed for the European extractive industry which looks not only at increasing production but also at delivering high value, tailored nano-products which will form the new raw materials for the manufacturing industry. ProMine research will focus on five nano-products, (Conductive metal (Cu, Ag, Au) fibres, rhenium and rhenium alloy powders, nano-silica, iron oxyhydroxysulphate and new nano-particle based coatings for printing paper), which will have a major impact on the economic viability of the extractive industry. They will be tested at bench scale, and a number selected for development to pilot scale where larger samples can be provided for characterisation and testing by end-user industries. It will include production, testing and evaluation of these materials, with economic evaluation, life cycle cost analysis, and environmental sustainability. ProMine with 26 partners from 11 EU member states, has a strong industrial involvement while knowledge exploitation will transfer ProMine results to the industrial community.
To improve the noise situation in Europe, the EU issued the Environmental Noise Directive (2002/49/EC) in 2002. It was transposed into German law in 2005. The aim is to reduce environmental noise and prevent an increase in noise in previously quiet areas. To this end, noise pollution is to be recorded in noise maps by means of uniform assessment methods for noise indices in Europe and then reduced by means of concrete measures. In recent years, the EU has developed these methods under the acronym CNOSSOS-EU (Common Noise Assessment Methods in Europe) with the participation of the Member States. These calculation methods were introduced by an amendment to Annex II of the EU Environmental Noise Directive 2015 as Directive (EU) 2015/996 (1) for subsequent national implementation ((2) to (6)) and are to be applied by all Member States as of 1 January 2019. In this documentation, the methods for the determination of sound emissions, the calculation of sound propagation and the assessment of noise exposure are applied to exemplary scenarios. A distinction is made between noise from sources close to the ground (road, rail, industry) and sources from air traffic (aircraft noise). In accordance with the calculation regulations (2) to (6), model calculations (creating scenarios and test cases) are documented in detail. This way, a quality assurance of noise calculations in accordance with DIN 45687 (11) is made possible and a uniform and comprehensible application of the methods is ensured throughout Germany.

Within the 6th Environment Action Programme, the Commission will develop a Thematic Strategy on the Urban Environment. The work will include the development of appropriate indicators and other monitoring tools to assess the effectiveness of the strategy. This task is taken as a premise for the project. TISSUE will evaluate whether the information that can be received with help of existing indicators will be adequate to monitor the Strategy or whether further indicators should be developed. In order to successfully fulfil the task, the project will co-operate with other ongoing actions; in particular the work of the Expert Group on the Urban Environment and their Thematic Working Groups. The overall goal of the project is deployed in specific objectives as follows: - analyse demand and define appropriate trends (in consultation with the Commission) which should be measured to properly determine progress towards sustainable development of the urban environment at local level; - carry out comparative research on existing sets of indicators to determine whether they: i) are able to provide the information needed to monitor developments at the different local levels on the trends identified in the first step; ii) can be used to assess trends at the EU level; iii) their implementation is viable; - define the set-up needed for a harmonised set of indicators and for effectively utilising the information from existing indicators and make recommendations for further research; analyse the conditions how to increase the acceptance of harmonised sets of indicators through Europe and motivate the cities to use them. - collect indicators and structure the indicators into a database. The indicators to be considered are urban environment indicators in use or being developed at EU level, national level in the member states and at regional and/or local level in use across EU. TISSUE will make recommendations about the usability of different sets of indicators.
The main objective of the project is to contribute to a transition towards a green economy in Europe through organization of the international conference 'Transition to a green economy' (T2gE). This international conference will be an event of major strategic nature during the Slovak Presidency of the European Council. Conference will bring together a broad spectrum of stakeholders. Its ambition is to improve understanding of the green economy concept, identify conclusions and pathways for transition as well as to involve and mobilise various actors and stakeholders in the discussions of possible future actions. The conference also aims to strengthen synergy among various recent initiatives and programmes launched by the European Commission (i.e 7EAP, Circular economy package, Energy Union, Juncker Commission's priorities etc) and by the Member States, to the benefit of the overall coherence. The conference will aim to bring together policymakers from various EU countries, as well as a range of stakeholders from international organizations, academia, business, and civil society and encourage an open debate around key green economy issues. At the end of the conference, draft conclusions, for both the national and the European level, will be approved which will be useful tool for implementation of policy in the field of green economy. Parallel breakout sessions will be devoted to various relevant subjects with the involvement of representatives from civil society, policymakers, business, science and innovations, and regional and local authorities. The participants will present examples of the green economy approaches from successful countries, which will be discussed and reflected in the conclusions to ensure that green economy policy conclusions are relevant to countries' needs. Part of the conference will be oriented on practical demonstration of Slovak examples of green/circular economy - field trip.
PROMISE strives for multidimensional networking thus fostering integration. The primary strategic objective of PROMISE is to improve and increase the integration, collaboration and knowledge transfer between the new member states, old member states (EU15) and candidate countries through a collaborative workplan of exchange of expertise and regional training and dissemination actions, to tackle common food safety threats. PROMISE strives for sustainability through involvement of risk communicators. A further strategic objective is to integrate stakeholders like public health authorities and national food safety authorities from the old and new member countries in order to ensure the exploitation of research results into standardisation and harmonisation efforts. PROMISE will enhance the knowledge on pathogen transmission. While legal imports are well monitored for contamination and alerts are registered through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed RASFF notification systems, gates into the EU-27 could exist where food supply chains are not controllled. These uncontrolled imports present the risk that new strains of traditional pathogens will be transferred from third countries into the European Union. Analysing, assessing and interpreting this risk of introducing new strains of pathogens is one of the main objectives of PROMISE.
